DO NOT PUT BOARDS IN DISHWASHER!!!
Do Not Soak Boards!!!
NO Dishwasher!!!
Easy Peasy Instructions
1. Wash board with a mild detergent. be sure to wash both side of the board. This will help the board dry evenly and help to fight bowing in the future.
2. For tough odors, scrub board with table salt and half a lemon, then wash. Dry and rest to dry on a raised surface.
3. Occasionally wipe board with a food safe mineral oil to preserve the wood and protect from moisture. Board oil is available at the big box stores and some supermarkets. However you can purchase the exact same liquid in the pharmacy. Mineral Oil in the Pharmacy is 25% the price you will pay for the bottle with a cutting board on it.
See? Look at these...
Ok, they aren't exactly the same, but trust me.
